Worried about My Daughter

That's quite dangerous! I'm a nurse and also have asthma; my medication does not have ephedrine in it, but many of the meds used for asthma (such as albuterol) can cause your heart rate to increase; same thing with caffeine. She's at risk for having some cardiac issues if she continues. All you can do is appeal to her sense of wellbeing in that she could cause some major health risks in continuing her current regimen. Plus, weight loss that is dependent on medication does not last; it will come right back as soon as she stops taking the medication. Good luck!!

^^ this!

And OTC asthma meds contain adrenaline. (Like in monster drinks) not ephedrine )
I have asthma (since birth and my 13 yr old son also was born with it.

Still can't figure a reason for the asprin though. Unless trying to head off a headache?

Blood thinner; amplifies effects of stimulants.

I got cute and tried this combo briefly, I figured it could serve a dual purpose. Boy was that a mistake! I felt quite ill and my stomach was not happy. I sure as heck didn't feel like working out.
